Massage Gun Recovery
Massage gun recovery applies brief percussive work on muscle bellies to ease tightness and DOMS sensation—moderate pressure, moving head, not a fix for overload.
Massage gun recovery uses percussive therapy on sore muscle bellies for thirty to ninety seconds per area to ease perceived tightness and improve short-term range—not to drill inflamed tendons or numb nerves. Keep the head moving, pressure moderate, and avoid bone and joint lines.
Pair with sleep and deloads when load is the real problem.
Common questions
-
How long should you use a massage gun per muscle?
Thirty to ninety seconds of steady passes at moderate speed—enough to feel looser, not bruised. Longer grinding on one spot rarely helps and can irritate tissue.
